Bill: Time for a new flag?
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Calvinist Unionist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2068
Description[?]:
| We believe that while our current flag looks fine, it doesn't really represent our nation. We encourage all parties to come up with their own flag to present to the legislature, so that we can choose what best suits our nation. |

| Message | Here's an explanation of my flag(here it is in case we put a new one in the article:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/Thelightningstar/NewLuthoriFlagz0rz3.png) The two flames represent the political parties of Luthori: the more conservative ones represented by Red and the Liberal ones represented in Blue. They are both of equal size and are both looking inwards, towards the Lyre. The Lyre(in white) represents the Luthori people. This ultimatley represents that while the political parties can be of considerable size, they all must serve the Luthori people. |

| Message | why are conservatives red? those are communist colors. anyway, i don't like the flames idea all too much. perhaps a torch on one side, and a leaf on the other? the torch to symbolize light and knowledge, with the leaf for peace and love of nature, with the lyre for harmony in the middle. |

| Message | and i like the version of the lyre on our current flag better than the lyre on the proposed. |
| Date | 05:39:11, June 12, 2005 CET | From | House of Thompson | To | Debating the Time for a new flag? |
| Message | No, I do not like this. Our flag shapes what the Commonwealth of Luthori is, and we will NOT let a new party change the history of this nation. |

| Message | I am the oldest, actually, along with the LPP. NFP came a day or two after me as the Demented Yam Party(you can see why did didn't win alot in early votes ^^). Also, you say that the colors are communist, but then is the United States communist? Red always symbolizes conservatism, and blue for Liberalism(Red for Republican, Blue for Democrat). Of course, in our country, there's a whole friggen mesh of colors... Also, I tried to use the harp in the old version, but that one was tilted towards a side. That would should that we are either A. Favor the left or the right more than the other side or B. Favor peace or Knowledge over the other side. |

| Message | We think a flag should show unity, not division. |

| Message | Hmm... I shall create a new flag. A clear flag, that shows unity, and has few colors. And maybe has a harp in it. *goes into workshop* |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
